The Powerplant
Powering this motorsport-derived 911 is the 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine,
featuring VarioCam variable valve timing, titanium connecting rods, and
dry-sump lubrication. Factory-rated at 415 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque,
this powerplant channels its output through a six-speed manual transaxle and
limited-slip differential. The owner has added GMG exhaust components,
modifying the car's exhaust note while maintaining the vehicle's mechanical
configuration.

The 997.1 generation GT3 RS occupies a position in Porsche's motorsport
lineage as one of the last analog GT cars from the marque. Its limited
production numbers, driving characteristics with minimal electronic
intervention, and connection to Porsche's racing heritage have established its
position in the collector market. This one-owner, low-mileage example
represents the 997.1 GT3 RS model with its factory specifications and owner
modifications.
Interior & Details
The interior of this GT3 RS showcases a perfect blend of motorsport
functionality and road-going comfort. The Euro 996 GT3-specification Recaro
bucket seats are trimmed in black leather, providing both support during
spirited driving and comfort for longer journeys. The cabin features a
body-color roll bar, enhancing both safety and aesthetics, while Schroth
safety harnesses and a Sharkwerks fire extinguisher kit further emphasize the
car's track-ready nature.
Modern amenities haven't been overlooked, with the Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) system providing navigation and entertainment functions. The
Valentine One radar detector installation shows thoughtful consideration for
real-world usability. Climate control ensures comfort in various conditions,
making this GT3 RS as capable on daily drives as it is on track days.
